Tribe @ Tigers (Series Thread)

• GOONx19

  

  I'm glad we're hot heading into it, but I'm not too optimistic. Either way, Roll Tribe.

  Ha no comments on this one? Shit show. Tomorrow won't be better. Hopefully we can win Sunday to keep it respectful. I wish Tomlin wasn't hurt. We need pitching badly.

  Go Tigers!

  ouch....
  
  one game, long season..and this series will give us an indication of how we match up. The season doesn't hinge on this series...still every one you lose early has to be made up later.
  I'm interested to see how Ubaldo responds to the match up with Veralander.

  The match up tonight surely favors the tiggers. But we've fared pretty well against CY winners so far this season. Anxious to see the line up. I'm thinking Raburn will be playing somewhere. And possibly Giambi. Verlander is 14-13 with a 4.55 ERA lifetime against the Tribe. We've had some success before....hopefully we do again.

  Kluber was terrible last night....that pitch to cabrera last night....Smh, my uncle who has no arms or legs could have hit that one out.
  
  I give them no chance tonight, so hopefully they can salvage one tomorrow.
  
  Go tribe

  In all honesty, I don't think as a team we're very good. However, I think Francona brings something out of these guys that past managers can't. I love the passion, the effort, the kid-like enjoyment of simply playing the game. The addition of Swisher obviously helps with the latter. However, I can't count us out of any game because of how I've seen these guys respond to Francona.

  I'm not sure what team you've been watching. Because this team is much more talented than any team they've fielded the last few years. This team cam hit and the pitching is so much better than anyone could have expected.
  
  BTW....they knocked around Verlander again tonight.
• Con_Alma

  I would say best since 2007. They don't have the talent the Tigers have but this is a fun team to listen to on the radio. Am interested in seeing them play.
  
  Ubaldo sounds like he was getting it done tonight.
• hoops23

  

  Ubaldo pitched his 3rd straight gem, unfortunately the bullpen is looking to give it away.. Hagadone loads the bases with no outs... Hopefully Cody Allen can salvage some of this 5 run lead.
• hoops23

  

  And yep, bullpen is about to blow it...
• hoops23

  

  SMH... 6-4 now.. Runner on 3rd, only 1 out.
• hoops23

  

  And now 6-5.
• Ironman92

  

  You guys are pretty deep.
• Crimson streak

  

  Why the hell was shaw not in the 7th this is why pestano being out hurts. Joe smith would have locked down the 7tg pestano the 8th and if its still a 5 run game Allen or hagadone in the 9th
• vball10set

  Hagadone's been inconsistent at best, and he was due to blow up like he did. We need to add on a couple more here.
• hoops23

  

  Tribe bullpen is hell bent on giving this game away.. Joe Smith can't find the strike zone either..
• royal_k

  

  Big Double play there!
• Ironman92

  

  Has Dale Scott been that generous with his zone all night? Hard to believe 12 runs have scored on what I've seen here the last 2 batters.
• Ironman92

  

  Perez better keep it down
• royal_k

  

  Holy shit...what a great play by Kipnis!
• Ironman92

  

  Holy Moses.....almost the play of the year
• hoops23

  

  Nick Swisher's error could cost us now..

  Good thing he got 1! The runner should've had to slide but nope.
